title: [Therapy of soft tissue injuries--biological strategies].
abstract: The traumatic soft tissue injury plays a central role in fracture healing. The knowledge of pathophysiological mechanisms has completely changed the management and therapy of injuries accompanied by soft tissue lesions. Treatment is aiming for prevention of the circle of hypoxia, microvascular perfusion disturbance, increased membrane permeability and potential infections. General therapeutic principles are decontamination, debridement, revascularisation and decompression. Modern methods of soft tissue treatment take these principles into consideration.
